All,
On last week's interop-call, the people
present (John and Stan of HP, Alan and Paul of SafeNet and myself) discussed
how to proceed with the proof-of-concept interop calls and the interop-effort
in general. We agreed that in light of the current lack of interop-activity,
it would make sense to take a "summer vacation" from the interop-calls,
and resume at a later date when there is more to test.
In the meantime we can also work on
new use-cases, as has been briefly discussed on various calls during the
past six months. Stan and Indra have been looking at key wrapping use case(s),
and Robert brought up asymmetric key use-cases as a possibility. These
both apply to KMIP v1.0 - once we make more progress on the v1.1 items,
we can also start looking at use-cases for them.
I propose to cancel this Thursday's
interop call and bring the definition of new use cases up as an agenda
item on the TC call with the larger group.
Best Regards,
Mathias
